Question: Hi doctor,
I have phobia about ppl, for example, in front of and surrounded ppl and in the car or bus. And I know that this phobia is caused by my ibs.

So recently I cannnot attend to my class because it is really embarrased and I have many traumatic experiences by this ibs. If I can be relax in the class and any vehicles, my ibs disease might not happen. Can you advise me how to be relax in the class? Actually, I'm really trying to avoid gas cause food. It passed 7 weeks from changed my diet. And I usally walk around for 40mins. Please tell me some ideas.

Hi there,
Thanks for writing in.
You are doing the right thing by doing exercise (walking) and avoiding foods that have a tendency to cause flatus. I figure that you are already on medication for IBS.
In addition, I would suggest that you sign up for yoga/relaxation/meditation classes. You might also want to try acupressure.
Hope I have answered your queries. In case you don't have any further queries, kindly accept my answer. Any reviews are welcome.
Have a relaxing day.
Regards,
Dr.Divya Kuttikrishnan
